Chapter 99: Chapter 95: Overwhelming Him with Experts! (Triple Combo)

The blue figure landed in front of him, and Chen An recognized it instantly.

Although he had only seen the person once, he later investigated the "friends" brought by his suddenly appearing elder brother while investigating him, and thus had a deep impression of this woman in blue.

The reason for this impression was none other than her attitude towards Chen Kuang, which was not that of an equal friend but rather of reverence and loyalty akin to that of a guard or maid.

In the eyes of this woman in blue, except for Chen Kuang, she cared nothing about anyone else.

It could be said she was "arrogant" in another sense.

This was one of the significant factors making Chen An question his elder brother’s identity — clearly, the demeanor of these friends was extraordinary.

If, as Chen Kuang said, he had lived as a wandering musician for years, how could he have such friends?

In these turbulent times, there were very few women of such bearing who would reveal themselves, even in hardship, and it was unlikely a homeless musician would be needed for help.

And if they really met on the road, why would they offer such enthusiastic help, disregarding their own safety?

It seemed suspicious no matter how it was viewed.

If Chen An had been at home at that time, he certainly wouldn’t have let them enter the house so easily, but unfortunately, it was Gan Tang at home then...

Later, Chen An also entrusted the Earth Official with the investigation, but until now, he hadn’t received any substantial feedback.

Only Pei Xiu hinted several times that Chen Kuang’s identity was not questionable and posed no threat to the Chen Family.

This is why Chen An never truly tested Chen Kuang and initially didn’t oppose his father allowing Chen Ning and Chen Kuang to leave together.

But why would Pei Xiu hint but not clearly state that there wouldn’t be any issue?

Chen An felt deeply puzzled but could not find an answer.

At this moment, Chen An finally understood why Pei Xiu had such an ambiguous attitude.

With just a single sword strike, the woman in blue instantly killed the Eight Meridian Warriors under the Government Office’s command, decisively and efficiently.

In other words, this "maid" of Chen Kuang was at least at the Innate Realm!

Chen An felt an acute shock in his heart.

Qingcuo looked at Chen An, raised her hand, and several long swords, including the one stuck into the Eight Meridian Warriors’ leader, flew over to circle her, overwhelming with murderous intent.

The rain poured down heavily, yet around her, the sword light weaved an impenetrable barrier, making her resemble a goddess.

She did not learn many things, but she specialized in one thing.

That was the art of killing.

"Please, everyone, retreat inside now, and do not come out unless necessary."

Qingcuo turned towards the Chen couple rushing out from the hall behind, glanced at them calmly, pressed her fingers together in a sword gesture, and said:

"I will start killing."

Chen Rong bowed fearfully towards Qingcuo and trembled as he asked, "May I ask who the young lady is..."

"Swoosh!"

Qingcuo’s sword gesture flew diagonal, and another head fell behind, revealing another officer trying to sneak attack.

The head rolled, the body knelt on the ground, the wound smooth and neat, with blood spraying all around.

Then it was quickly washed away by the rain, vanishing into the downpour.

Chen Rong’s heart was increasingly filled with terror, recalling if he and everyone in Chen Mansion had shown any disrespect towards Qingcuo and her group.

Fortunately, there wasn’t—

Because of Gan Tang’s regard for Chen Kuang, even the servants were repeatedly instructed to treat the young master and his friends as masters.

Even they themselves only investigated secretly, fearing to upset Gan Tang.

Outsiders did not know the inside story, but they, especially Chen Rong, knew clearly that Gan Tang’s obsession had become a bit hysterical...

This is why Chen Rong and Chen An were so cautious about Chen Kuang’s identity; they didn’t want Gan Tang’s yearning for his son to be exploited.

But now, it seemed they worried too much.

Of course, they might have worried too little...

Now, as the situation grew tense, Qingcuo naturally could not reveal the truth to them, lest it lead to more troubles.

However, she thought for a moment, deciding she should calm Chen Kuang’s family’s emotions, and spoke in her gentlest tone:

"Please don’t worry, Master and Madam. I am merely my master’s maid, acting under orders to protect Chen Mansion. Please wait a while, when the master comes forward, he will naturally answer your questions."

In the eyes of this Dazed Beast certified by Chen Kuang, if others were weaker than her, it equated to safety, thus her display of weakness was the greatest reassurance to others.

While a guard or subordinate might seem somewhat aggressive.

After thinking it over, the maid identity was the most weak and safe, demonstrating both her vulnerability and loyalty.

Qingcuo was very satisfied with her adaptation.

Little did she know, her use of "maid" brought a tremendous shock to those present.

Even more than seeing her slice through an elite warrior like cutting vegetables was difficult to accept...

Chen Rong was dumbfounded, speechless.

In their perception, Chen An was already a first-class expert in Jianghu, in Cao Bang, only two Vice Gang Leaders were at the Innate Realm, and the remaining chairmen and vice-chairmen were exceedingly rare in the Nine Meridian.
